3. (a) The time for one revolution is the circumference of the orbit divided by the speed
v
of the Sun:
T
=2
πR/v
,where
R
is the radius of the orbit. We convert the radius:
R
=

km conversion can be found in Appendix D or figured “from basics” (knowing the
speed of light). Therefore, we obtain

(b) The number of revolutions
N
is the total time
t
divided by the time
T
for one revolution; that is,
N
=
t/T
. We convert the total time from years to seconds and obtain
N
